'ro ALL wHoM 1T MAY ooNonnN:

Be it known that we, JOHN STADERMANN, of .the city, county, and State of New York, and HENRY SAUER- BIER, of Newark, in the county of Essex, and State of New' Jersey, have invented'a new and useful impro'vement in Artificial Breasts; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing, forming a part of this specification.

The drawing represents a perspective view of our invention.

This invention consists in constructing artiicial breasts out of wire cloth or wire gauze, swaged or struck up by dies, or other suitable means, in such a manner that the two breasts will form projections on one and Athe same piece of wire cloth made to conform to the chest of the wearer. Our invention, it is believed, fully obviates two diculties attending the use of vthe ordinary artificial breasts, to wit, a lack of ventilation anda-slipping of the breasts out of 'their proper position, while it possesses the advantage of admitting of the-waist of the dress and under clothing tting snugly to the person.

A represents a piece of wire cloth or wire gauze, which is swaged or struck up by dies, or other suitable means, so as to have two protuberances, a a, which form the artiicial breasts, the other portions of the cloth or gauze being 'swaged or struck up to conform to the shape of the chest and fit snugly to it like stays or coi-sets, the edge of the cloth or gauze being cut of proper form and bound witha suitable fabric, b, to prevent the ends of the wires from injuring the clothing. A strap or band, B, is attached to A, by which the device is secured to' the wearer.

It will be seen from the above description that the-wire cloth o'r gauze admits of perfect ventilation, that it cannot get out of the proper place when tied to the wearer, and that the waist of the dress may t securely to the person. We are aware that artificial breasts have been made of wire cloth, but they have been constructed separately of cup-shape, connected together by a band or tape. These breasts are very liable to get out of place, and they do not admitof the waist of the dress fitting neatly or snugly to the person.

We do not. claim, therefore, broadly artificial breasts constructed of wire gauze or wire cloth, but we do claim as new, and desire secure by Letters Patent- Artieial breasts formed by swaging or striking up out of one and the same piece of wire gauze or wire cloth, two protuberanees of proper dimensions, and having the other portionl of the wire gauze or cloth swaged or struck up to conform to the shape of the chest of the wearer, substantiallyfas shown and described.

HENRY SAUERBIER.
